Mc Donald’s has successfully built its food processing capacities by partnering with food processors, like Vista Foods, Mc Cain, Venky’s, and Mrs. Bector’s.

They have also invested in their supply chain and logistic that ensured the at-the-doorstep supply of raw materials to various Mc Donald’s outlets. The kind of tie-up was mutually rewarding as on one hand it helped Mc Donald’s generate quality products in quantity and also maintain an efficient supply chain throughout the year without any pressure of production. On the other hand, it helped partners improve on their plant, technology and production capacities by adding new lines of operations and also ensured annual demand. |
